Luv’s POV:
Leaning against the wall behind my back, I lazed. She should have chased the guy out minutes ago... I wondered if she had already finished him off, or if she was just taking her time.
With a sigh, I let my eyes rest. It was only a moment, I swear!
Shell’s POV:
Walking around the inside of the old building, I’d had lost my prize, but I was hot on his trail, Luv better not find out about this..... Rounding a corner I spotted the middle aged man trying to open a window...
“It’s a sheer drop from here, you sure you want to take that chance??” I eyed him curiously, most prizes liked to try and fight their way out, but some did take the death road, which wouldn’t be good if we were going to get paid.
He turned to face me...looking me up and down he smirked, then lunged thinking he could take me, I dodged back three steps, light on my feet, and egged him on with big eyes and a horrified expression. Then, practically dancing out of the building, I smiled,
“Luv, he’s all yours.”
Luv’s POV:
“Luv, he’s all yours.”
Shocked, I opened my eyes wide, but the prey had already stepped far enough out of the building to see me. There goes the surprise, I felt my heart sink. Damn! She’d tease me about that later! Swearing, I threw my weight, what little of it there was, at the serial killer.
He didn’t seem to feel very threatened by me, causing me to become irritated. My temper flared, but I bit back the anger. I knew better than to blindly attack.
As I hit him once, and then leapt back, he pulled a gun from his jacket pocket. I was a little surprised. He struck me as the sadistic type who’d rather torture. Maybe the gun was only for scaring reason, or just in case he got caught or something. I wasn’t sure, but honestly? I didn’t give a damn.
The gun pointed to my chest, and I let myself smirk and looked my prey in the eyes, his expression smug as he pulled the trigger.
With a bang, the gun went off, and the prey’s victorious face lit up...
Then I whispered from behind him, “Did you really think that would work? Against me?” My whisper was to frighten him, and it worked like a charm. The prey’s eyes slid to me just as I drew my long dagger and went for a stab.
Shell's POV:
I ran past and noticed Luv's nonchalant stance. LUV!!!! How many times-? As I ran by, my purser saw him before Luv could jump into action which left me standing on the side lines shaking my head, and watching as our prize pulled out a gun...not this again...I looked at my watch 1:00 AM, this was taking too long. When I glanced back up Luv held his dagger poised to kill...I reacted,
"Luv!!" throwing one of my daggers at his, "WE DON’T KILL THEM!!! MAN, GET THAT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM"
Luv’s POV:
She threw a dagger after yelling my name, not helping my temper issue, but I managed to rein it in as I parried the thrown dagger instead of stabbing at the guy. He quickly snapped his wrist up to shoot at Shell, and I shook my head slightly, is he stupid?
A smugness tugged at my lips and I backed off as I watched the show with my dagger settling into a threatening-but-not-actually-going-to-kill-him stance.
My partner smirked, as I knew that she would, easily dodging from the path of the bullet. Her eyes met mine as soon as she finished moving and she spoke, “It’s 1:00 AM.”
